In this post, we explore how to find the first non-NA value in data.table, both for grouped and ungrouped data. We use practical examples, including a psychology research experiment, to demonstrate the process. This technique helps handle missing values in datasets and is useful for filling in missing data based on valid entries.

In this post, we used R and ggplot2 to visualize correlations among BFI personality traits. We cleaned the data, computed the correlation matrix, and created a polished heatmap without grid lines. This approach provides a clear and visually appealing way to interpret relationships between personality dimensions in psychological data.
